I am trying to replace the fuel filter in a 1986 Chevy Blazer and
can't seem to find it? Does anyone know where it is? Its not where i
can see it?

Thx

Its on the driver's side, on the inside of the frame. IIRC, you'll need a
5/8 and 11/16 flarenut wrenches. Get some rags - you'll get gas everywhere.
Remove the pressure from the line first.

Wow. Looks like y'all forgot the 'old school' Quadrajets.

It's in the front of the carb. Take out the 3/8" fuel line, and the fitting
that's left holds the filter in. Be VERY careful putting it back in, as
they're very prone to cross threading. If it's already cross threaded, they
make repair fittings that you can get in the Help section at any auto parts
store - it's oversized and cuts the new threads as you screw it in.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing! In the ful tank? My gawd. 86's were
CCC carb with a mechanical fuel pump, and you're right, filter is located
right inside......................

Well, verifies my post on another group, answering the exact same
question. Looks like when the OP cross-posted they actually copy and
pasted instead of just multiple groups in the "newsgroup" line...
